USING COMPRESSED WORKWEEKS TO REDUCE WORK COMMUTING

The idea that compressed workweeks can reduce work commuting is not new, but little has been written on the subject from the transportation perspective. This paper elaborates on compressed workweeks and points out that they can lead to massive reduction in work commuting. The author presents several real-world cases to demonstrate the amount of commuting reduction made possible by compressed workweeks. The paper also discusses several related issues, including employee and employer acceptance and effect on carpooling.
